ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council approve a Resolution of Support for the Lake
Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) Phase 3 Pavement and Drainage Improvements, from I-94 to 300 feet south of
30th Street North?
BACKGROUDN AND PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Washington County is requesting from
the City of Lake Elmo a resolution of support for the Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) Phase 3 Pavement
and Drainage Improvements, from I-94 to 300 feet south of 30th Street North. The resolution of support
expresses the City’s support for the project, for the preliminary design layout as presented, and allows the
County to proceed with the final project design and property acquisition with the intention to begin
construction in 2018. Upon completion of the final design the County will request the City to enter into a
Cooperative Cost Agreement for the Project.
The improvements include a full-depth reclaim pavement rehabilitation from I-94 to 20th Street, including
the construction of new turn lanes at 5th Street North (Hunters Crossing & Southwind developments), at
24th Street North (new entrance for Royal Golf), and along CSAH 10 at the new Royal Golf entrance.
Between 20th Street North and 30th Street North, the improvements will also include a full-depth reclaim
pavement rehabilitation, however new concrete curb and gutter will be installed to replacement existing
bituminous curb along the east side and to replace a rural section shoulder along the west side. Stormwater
runoff will be captured and conveyed by the new concrete cub and gutter to various sump manholes to
pretreat the storm water runoff prior to discharging to Lake Elmo.
FISCAL IMPACT: The County is requesting City cost participation in accordance with the County Cost
Participation Policy, in the estimated amount of $58,500 and $83,000.
City cost participation includes a 50% cost share for the west side concrete curb and gutter between 20th
Street and 30th Street, miscellaneous project overhead costs, and 55% cost share for right-of-way costs. In
addition, the County will require cost reimbursement from the City in the estimated amount of $525,000
for the turn lanes at 5th Street North (Hunters Crossing/Southwind), 24th Street North (Royal Golf), and
along CSAH 10 (Royal Golf). The City has included language in the respective development agreements
to obtain turn lane cost reimbursement.
The County has applied for a VBWD community grant to cover a portion of the costs to enhance water
quality through pretreatment prior to discharging to Lake Elmo.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a Resolution supporting
Washington County’s recommended layout for the Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) Phase 3 Pavement and
Drainage Improvements, from I-94 to 300 feet south of 30th Street North. The recommended motion for
the action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2018-035 Supporting Washington County’s recommended layout for
the Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) Phase 3 Pavement and Drainage Improvements, from I-94 to 300
feet south of 30th Street North.”
